Why “pleasuredome” is a great word
PLEASUREDOME — [Noun] A place, especially a lavish palace or resort, dedicated to pleasure, entertainment, and recreation. From the compound of pleasure (enjoyment, delight) and dome (a stately building or mansion), coined from the opening lines of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem 'Kubla Khan' (completed 1797, published 1816): 'In Xanadu did Kubla Khan / A stately pleasure-dome decree.' Unlike a 'pavilion' (a light, temporary structure) or a 'sanctuary' (a haven of refuge or worship), a pleasuredome is an edict of permanent, grandiose hedonism. It is the scent of exotic blooms in an artificial grotto, the shimmer of silk canopies against a forced-perfect sky, and the echoing music from a hall of perpetual festivity—a monument to the exquisite, doomed ambition to build a heaven from sensation alone.
